Job will be a good un when we're all in that cider tent!!! :p

Thanks MG, so long as I don't go down in a bog!:o

People have asked me what time I expect to do but I've no idea at all. I have recced it (see above comment) but went really slowly and stopped for snacks etc so it was no indicator. I was hoping to just meet the cut offs and get round (which I think I'll do so long as I don't get injured or something).

It's all training for the Old Counties Tops and ultimately the Lakeland 50.
See you there marra;)

All right matey. You're going great by the sounds of it. Aye, keep in touch.

I'm in it for the occasion. Partial slipped disc last year at end of March so had to pull out and didn't get back "running" until July when I lost patience and did the Tockholes race. I'd say that the first time I felt I was running right was the XC at Townley Park in January so I thought then that I could make it.
Got on the waiting list and got a place and so far health is holding up.

4:39 in 2008 and 4:45 in 2009 so under 5 and I'll be happy.

My approach has differed though with my training being 1 long run at weekend and just ticking over mid week - no speed work at all.

My tactic will be to try and hold my self back on PYG and the run to Ribblehead. Been 1:46 at RH both times and I'm looking to try for low - mid 1:50s so I've still got some life in my legs for Whernside.
Lost stacks on Whernside both times which I think is due to tackling PYG like it's Rivington Pike :D

Did anyone else see the advertisement in the metro newspaper yesterday? Was advertising the 3 peaks, quite surprised at that.
